This story is from the National Park Service…
The pair of bald eagles at American Camp , Bertha and Bob Jr. have again produced egg(s) in their nest near the American Camp Visitor Center. However, the number of eaglets won’t be known until they hatch, which is expected around April 20. Visitors are encouraged to observe the young eagles’ progress. The park will have a spotting scope available daily, weather permitting, during visitor center hours and park staff will be available to answer questions.
This will be the seventeenth known brood that Bertha and her mates, Little Bob and Bob Jr. have parented at American Camp. Little Bob disappeared over the winter of 2007 and Bertha returned the following spring with her new mate, Bob Jr. In 2003, they produced an unusual clutch of three eaglets, who survived and fledged.
Spring Visitor Center hours at American Camp are Wednesday – Sunday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
